Did you earn it?
Xu Yan looked at the smiling old man in front of him, and his heart was extremely complicated.

Trade one's own life for the future of his son and the inheritance of the family title.

Is it a loss or a gain?

I'm afraid only the old man knows best.

Anyway, Xu Yan couldn't see where he was gaining, it was a big loss.

The most important thing is that Xu Yan always felt that his uncle's defeat on the front line was related to the man in the palace. Otherwise, how could the commander of the Imperial City Division appear on the front line by such a coincidence?
He even thought darkly, his uncle Xu Jin had guarded the border for more than ten years and hadn't made any mistakes. How could the city wall be broken by demons inexplicably after the commander-in-chief of the imperial city went?

Could it be that the city defense formation is just paper?
Border officers and soldiers are all made of mud?
Inexplicably, Xu Yan felt very chilled. Looking at the smiling old man in front of him, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

It was as if he could see Xu Yan's sadness.

The old man smiled indifferently and said: "Don't think too much, I'm almost eighty, and there is no hope of breaking through the realm of immortality in this life, taking a risk once, you can keep the title inheritance of your uncle and your family, it is already very good .”

"In addition, you can take advantage of this opportunity to get things done if you want to transfer the town magician, and you have a few uncles, cousins' official transfers, etc..."

The old man was rambling on, talking about some things, obviously planning to take this opportunity to make arrangements for everyone in the house.

After all, he wanted to make a peak warrior willing to die.

It is far from enough to rely on some small means, and it is necessary to come up with some real things.

Because a peak Martial Saint is a figure in the entire human race, and at the age of the old man, it is possible to break through the realm of human immortality, and he belongs to the human immortal seed in the human race.

Therefore, if the Emperor Dagan wants the old man to go to Guixu to find the elixir, he has to pay a corresponding price, instead of using some small tricks and just finding a reason.

No wonder the old man kept saying that he made money.

It turns out that apart from letting uncle Xu Jin successfully inherit the title, there are other compensations.

Even according to what the old man said, the compensation is quite a lot. Almost all the core personnel of the Hou Mansion have been promoted and transferred to a certain extent in terms of official positions.

Obviously, this time the Emperor Dagan also spent a lot of money in order to find the elixir.

Xu Yan listened to the old man's ramblings, without the slightest impatience, but with infinite sadness and helplessness.

Ask yourself.

If Xu Yan was placed in the position of the old man.

He felt that it would be difficult for him to sacrifice himself like the old man in exchange for the future of his children and the smooth inheritance of the title of the Marquis.

This may have something to do with him not being a father.

I can't appreciate the love and devotion of parents to their children.

Xu Yan only knew that he owed a lot this time.

It is also a handbook of martial sage practice, and it is also the cultivation resources needed for the realm of martial sages. In the end, he is going to use the political resources he has exchanged for his life to push him to the position of thousands of households in the town of magic.

Even though Xu Yan knew very well that the old man did this in order to tie him to the chariot of the Xu family in the Dingyuan Houfu to make up for the debt he owed his predecessor.

He also had to appreciate it.

Of course, apart from these two reasons, Xu Yan felt that there was another reason.

That is, once the old man went to Guixu, among the entire Dingyuan Houfu clan, on the surface, only Xu Yan's uncle Xu Jin and Xu Yan were left with two Martial Saints.

If the old man couldn't appease Xu Yan, he would leave all the benefits to the elder room and to Xu Yan's uncle Xu Jin.

Even if Xu Yan said that he had no complaints, no one would believe him.

Considering Xu Yan's age and martial arts aptitude, the absolute immortal seed has more potential than Xu Yan's uncle Xu Jin.

Therefore, as long as the old man is not stupid, he will know what to do. He must compensate, appease and win over Xu Yan from other aspects, so that Xu Yan will not create a estrangement with the Dingyuan Hou Xu clan.

Even soon after, when the family property was divided, Xu Yan was able to share a large portion.

In the past, it was [-] points, the big house accounted for [-]%, and the second, third, fourth, and fifth rooms were added together to account for [-]%.

But now, Xu Yan revealed his cultivation level, showing sufficient strength and potential.

Then when dividing the family property, it is probably another method of division.

For example, in the five-two-three distribution, the big house takes up [-]%, the other houses together take up [-]%, and Xu Yan alone takes up [-]%.

Anyway, Xu Yan had to be satisfied.

This is the best embodiment of personal strength in the extraordinary world.

That is to say, the accident happened too fast, and the old man had no choice but to go to Guixu to die for the future of his children.

Otherwise, with the strength and potential shown by Xu Yan, not to mention [-]% of the family property, even if he inherited the title of the Marquis, it would be normal.

After staying with the old man for more than an hour, he ate a relatively luxurious medicinal meal by the way.

When Xu Yan returned to his residence, it was not yet Xu time, and there was still some time before it got dark.

He was not in a hurry to practice, he just reclined on the leisure chair in the yard, took the martial sage practice handbook given by the old man, and read it carefully.

It is not known which ancestor of the Hou Mansion left this letter.

But looking at the yellowed pages, I think it has been quite a while.

It's normal to think about it.

After all, it would take more than 100 years for a martial arts expert to be able to sit down without any disease or disaster.

Since the old man said that it was left by "a certain ancestor".

Then this handbook is at least several hundred years old.

Of course, Xu Yan didn't pay much attention to historical relics, he didn't care about the date of the letters at all, what he cared about was the contents of the letters.

"Martial Saint One Realm, the main practice in martial arts will, there is no specific method, can be divided into five realms."

"The first realm: the early stage of martial arts, this realm focuses on honing martial arts skills and enhancing the understanding of the true meaning of martial arts. Qi and blood are like an oven, and the spirit of boxing is highly condensed. body."

"The second realm: the middle stage of a martial sage, the essence is like smoke, the spirit and blood are united, become pure yang, reborn, the body is clean, control the body, can restrain one's own blood and energy, ghosts and gods are not aware of it."

"The third realm: the late stage of martial arts, condensing the spirit of boxing that is unique to him, learning the law but forgetting the law, the mind is round and flawless, and the martial arts force field that can be formed in the battle can suppress ghosts and gods."

"The fourth realm: the pinnacle of martial sages, where martial arts thoughts reach the heavens and the earth, see the body inside, see the dark outside, condense the acupoints of the sky, the mind is agile, predict things like a god, and you can know in advance."

"The fifth realm: a half-step human fairyland, the acupoints conceive the gods, comprehend the small world of the body, the way of blending the human body and the world, can use the mighty power of the sun, moon and stars to strengthen oneself, cultivate the gods in the body, obtain the power of supernatural powers, and finally open The gateway of life and death, the bridge that connects heaven and earth, transcends sagehood and enters immortality."

"..."

Xu Yan looked at the description in the martial sage's practice handbook, secretly compared his own situation, and finally came to a conclusion.

His current martial arts realm is at most the early stage of martial arts.

Although he has condensed all kinds of martial arts true meanings, he has not been able to integrate these martial arts true meanings into one furnace, condensing his own boxing spirit.

There are people who are reborn and have a clean body, but they can't completely control their own body, restrain their own blood and energy, so that ghosts and gods can't detect it.

Therefore, his current realm of human immortal martial arts can only be regarded as the early stage of martial sage, and has not reached the middle stage of martial sage.

Of course, realm is realm, combat power is combat power, and the two cannot be confused.

It's like a strong man born with supernatural power, who can kill a martial artist with a little learning of martial arts.

Can you say that this strong man's martial arts realm is stronger than that of a martial artist?

Certainly not possible.

Therefore, Xu Yan's initial stage of Martial Saint is only the realm of Martial Dao, not real combat power.

If you really want to fight to the death.

Xu Yan felt that he was completely capable of killing a strong mid-stage martial artist.

Even, regardless of the means, he might still be able to use Taoist spells to kill a great master in the late stage of martial arts.

So if anyone treats Xu Yan as an ordinary junior martial saint, the end will definitely be very miserable.

"Essence is like wolf smoke, spirit and blood are united, become pure yang, reborn, the body is clean, control your own body, can restrain your own blood and energy, ghosts and gods don't know it!"

"Is this the biggest difference between human immortal martial arts and divine soul immortals?"

Xu Yan felt that the Martial Dao of the Human Immortal and the Immortal Dao of the Immortal Soul were somewhat similar, but completely different.

It is as if two completely different concepts of practice are separated from a certain practice method.

The intermediate level of Wusheng is the unity of soul, qi and blood, turning into pure yang, reborn, with a clean body, and control of one's own body.

The core of the third realm of the Immortal Dao, the mage realm, is the unity of the divine soul and aura, condensing the magic power of the immortal way from the virtual to the real, allowing the mind to penetrate the world and display the magical powers of Taoism.

One is the unity of spirit and blood, and the other is the unity of spirit and spirit.

If you say that there is no connection between the two, then you are really going to hell.

"What will happen if the soul, qi and blood, and aura are combined into one?"

Inexplicably, such a thought could not help popping up in Xu Yan's mind.

"If you combine the soul, qi and blood, and aura into one in your practice, does that mean you are practicing both immortality and martial arts?"

"It's just... In this way, it seems to have touched the taboo of Xianwu not to be a fellow practitioner."

"Thinking about it again, the descriptions about half-step human immortality and human immortality in the handbook seem to have nothing to do with aura."

"Once you reach the peak of Martial Saints, you will use the power of the sun, moon and stars to strengthen yourself, nourish the gods in your body, and finally open the gateway of life and death, connect the bridge between heaven and earth, and become a saint."

"As if... as if, the path of cultivation of human immortal martial arts has been avoiding aura all the time."

"Is there really something wrong with the aura of this world?"

Xu Yan was very unwilling to believe this result.

Because he has already walked a long distance on the Immortal Dao of the Soul, he has already absorbed spiritual energy and condensed the magic power of the Immortal Dao.

If there is really a problem with the aura in this world.

Didn't what he did before planted a huge hidden danger for himself?
Thinking of this, Xu Yan frowned tightly and fell into deep thought.
